Had a growler of this the other night.

Appearance-Very light gold with a slight cloud in it.

Smell-FANTASTIC hop aroma, so much so it seems to set my nose hairs to life. There is some deep aroma of another perhaps spice in it that I couldn't place.

Taste-Again FANTASTIC up front was nice and rich a little smooth for a triple IPA. It finished with a more hearty bitter which was actually nice. There are I believe 8-10 different hops in this beer, from what the waitress told me. It was just a moment in time to have that much complexity from hops going on in my palate.

Overall-If it wasn't $25 for a growler I would definitely go for more. But it's a once in a lifetime experience.

Brewed in conjunction with Draught Works, the breweries list this beer as a triple IPA.

Pours a clear gold with normal head.

From the nose, you can immediately tell this was brewed with a good quantity of citra hops. Citrus fruits dominate.

Flavor follows suit, with orange and passion fruit slightly balanced by the bready malts.

Mouthfeel is good.

Overall, a very nice beer. Would definitely drink again.
